Atlantic and Puritan came up abreast like three

and easily outfooted the Puritan. The ambition
OF the Atlantic to keep up her end in the tussle for
windward position caused her skipper to pinch her
too hard. While she was staggering and pointing
high, the matchless steel craft was smoking along
eastward on the starboard tack until her hull was
invisible: half dozen steamboats, kept her com
pany. The Priscilla went about first, and was
followed by the Volunteer and Atlantic,
The volunteer went about at noon and crossed
the bows OF the Atlantic at least half a mile to
windward. She took down her Jibtopsail. which

After standing on the starboard tack to the east
ward for fifty minutes the Puritan came about
weathering the Mayfiower by nearly third OF

handled as she might have BEEN The Volunteer
again weathered the Atlantic at 12:4O, this time
by about mile and the Priscilla by mile and a
half. At II :5S the Volunteer crossed the bow Of
the Puritan two miles to windward. The wind
was now strong, and still from the northwest.
The Volunteer rounded the flag at :27 80 to such
discordant medley OF roars and bangs and toots
as has never been heard in Marblehead harboI.
The Atlantic rounded at :35 rs, the Puritan at
:39:15, the Priscilla at 1:4O:55, and the May

advantage or her. The schooner Sachem beat the
Iroquois to the windward marks minutes and 8

and was saved only by clever management. She

TO the next mark, IL miles to the eastward, the
wind was on the starboard quarter. Balloon jib-

the second mark at 2:43:OO. The Puritan 1ibed

Priscilla at 90 ~, and the May1lOwer at 1857 29.
The Puritan made this run in 1:14-12 seconds

Volunteer, :35 faster than the Priscilla, and :35
faster than the Atlantic. The Volunteer miscaIcu-

and had to cover more water than her followers
which saw her mistake and cut across lots.

HIS CONFIDENCE IN THE THISTLE SHAKEN.
Alderman IRE, OF Glasgow, Scotland, arrived in
New York yesterday by the City Of Chester. He
was asked how the people Of his city regarded the
Thistles chances to win the Americas cup "Our
people were very hopeful when left, and were
willing TO wager on the new boat But from what
have read In the papers received from the pilot
about the Volunteer, I incline to the belief that
tie confidence saw exhibited has been more or
less shaken. still believe, however, that the race
Will be pretty One."
